(I presume the wastland is the desert on the way to to Loamhedge. Also siege redwall anyone or get paid by the abbey beasts to defend them.)

The sparra getting bored flew off on a short scouting trip he did every once in a while. He enjoyed the breeze he got higher up as he flew through the sky with the wind rustling his feathers. He started scanning below looking for anything of interest. Spotting dust in the distance he flew towards it. He spotted a ragged band of vermin on the path below him. Quickly counting two score he flew back to the camp.

"Two score vermin on path." He had landed in front of Abscon and was talking quickly "They be come much quick."
